Chapter 291 Anonymous Tombstone
Chapter 291 Anonymous Tombstone
For more than 20 years, she had regarded Mason as her biological father. It was only until someone told her that it was all false. Everything she knew was just an illusion that lasted for more than 20 years. Mason was simply a person who adopted her...
Now, they told her that her biological father was Edward, what kind of expression should she show? Sadness? Anger? Or something else...
But apart from the mother and daughter's affection for Joanna, she really couldn't feel anything else.
For some reason, Elena clearly saw Kent who was driving, and he was relieved. When she wanted to reconfirm, he had quickly suppressed all the emotions on his face.
“Remember what you said today, I hope you won't regret it in the future.”
Elena frowned, not knowing what it meant.
Logan's big hands covered her eyes, and dragged her into his arms, and said jealously, “Why do you bother telling him so much, he's just babbling as he's bored.”
Elena raised her head and glanced at him, the worry in his eyes told her it was real, and then she raised her slender hand and patted his forehead, “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I would be sad when I see Joanna?”
“No.” He denied promptly, but the emotion in his eyes had betrayed him.
Elena bit her lip, “Actually, you think too much, and you care too much about my feelings.”
There were times she was really not that sad. This time, she just thought that Joanna had passed, she should perform her last filial piety.
Logan curled up his lips and smiled, “You think too highly of yourself, I know you well. Although you say that you don't care, however, you care more deeply than anyone else.”
“Says who?” Elena retorted with a guilty conscience but couldn't hold up.
He just rubbed the top of her head and said nothing.
The journey was very far. It took them a whole day and only reached their destination when it was night.
Elena couldn't help but be astonished when she looked at the high-speed intersection, “This is...G City?”
“Yes.” Kent almost nodded. “The ashes were taken back to City G after Joanna died that year. After that, Edward went to pay his respects by himself, even I didn't get to opportunity to do so. But...”
“But what?”
“He is in H City now, even if he wants to stop, it would also be after we meet Joanna.”
With that said, the steering wheel turned a corner and turned directly into the back garden of an old house. There was a tombstone hidden in a hidden corner. When Elena saw it, a surprise flashed across her eyes.
It stands to reason that normally people would set up a memorial tablet, but they will not put the tombstone in their back garden!
Kent pointed at that place, “Edward usually doesn't let anyone approach here, even me.”
“Then how come now...”
“Don't forget that I am the only heir of the Ford family now. Now that Edward is not here, I am the head of this family. Even if they want to stop me, they dared not do it so openly.”
When Kent spoke, he turned to glance at the servants who were not far away, all of them bowed their heads, and did not dare to speak.
Elena was a little worried after she heard it, “Then if Edward knows now, what would he do?”
“By the time he found out, we would have been gone, he won't be able to find either.”
Kent sighed, “Okay, don't worry about the unnecessary. We came by car, and I will take care of things afterward. You don't need to worry.”
When he came, he had already figured out the countermeasures. Edward had been paying attention to KL's movements for a while and guessed what Logan's sudden actions meant, there was no time to think of anything else.
“Let's go.”
Logan squeezed her hand, and Elena noticed that there was still a handful of beautiful Daisy in his hand. She didn't know when he prepared it. Perhaps it was placed in the trunk, so she never noticed.
There was no photo of Joanna on her tombstone, not even her name. If it weren't for Kent who said that the person lying inside was Joanna, she would have treated it as an anonymous tombstone...
Elena wanted to kneel subconsciously, and Logan stopped her in her movement, “I'll do it.”
As soon as the voice fell, the person was already kneeling firmly in front of Joanna's tomb, “Mom, Elena is pregnant, so it is not appropriate for her to kneel for a long time, I will do her for her.”
“I'm not that vulnerable,” Elena murmured.
Logan glanced at her, and immediately stopped her from speaking.
Elena's hand silently rested on the tombstone. The moment she touched it; the cold stele made her hands tremble.
There was silence for a while, but Logan knew that she had already said everything she wanted to say to Joanna in her heart.
It was unknown how much time had passed, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper stepped forward, “Young Master...”
“Uncle Sam.”
Uncle Sam bent and nodded, and glanced in Elena's direction. At this time, the night was dim, so that he could not see the appearance of the two people in front of the tombstone, but only vaguely saw their back.
“Young Master, you brought two people back without saying a word to pay homage to Mrs. Ford...”
Kent looked at him with a smile on his eyebrows, “What's the matter? Isn't this woman always lonely? Can't I find two friends to come over and chat with her?”
“Young Master!” Uncle Sam glanced around with alert, “Hush! Don't let other people hear you, otherwise, the Master would sooner or later not let you off!”
“Ah!”
Kent’s unruly attitude fell into Uncle Sam’s eyes, leaving him with sweat on his head, “Young Master, I beg you, you can quickly take them away before the people at home tell the Master. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to account for it!”
Kent's deep eyes were placed on him, “Uncle Sam, you said you... Are thinking about that old man? Or are you on my side?”
“it's of course you!” Uncle Sam answered without hesitation, with flattery in his eyes. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Kent was not surprised, as if he had guessed his answer a long time ago, “If this is the case, don't mention anything to him about today. I'll promise you that you would enjoy the benefits in the future!”
“Ok!”
Uncle Sam nodded hurriedly, “But you have to hurry up. This would be good for everyone... won't it?”
“Okay, I know, stop harping like a girl.” Kent waved his hand, muttering disgustedly, “This woman has been dead for so many years, yet she still occupies such a large yard. When I get the power to the family, I would definitely dig this grave away anyway! What an eyesore to look at it!”
Uncle Sam smiled slyly, “What young master said is true. The master is really... She has passed on; all hopes are gone. Yet, he still made such a...”
Before he finished speaking, Kent immediately caught a cold stare that caused a cold chill down his spine that made others shivered along with him.
